7. According to a recent news story in Business Week, “For years, American multinationals have
been pilloried for shipping U.S. jobs overseas. Now, they’re exporting
something else: layoffs. Among the giants going abroad with their axes:
Motorola, Goodyear, Procter & Gamble, Compaq Computer, JDS Uniphase, and
Delphia Automotive. Each is cutting at least 2,500 overseas jobs. Sara Lee is
cutting 1,300 jobs - not one in the U.S. All are at its Hanes clothing plants
in Central and South America. Those were on top of 7,000 European layoffs at
Hanes plants.†Many people abroad are shocked at how easily U.S. firms can
throw long-term employees out of work, particularly when it is very difficult
to find another job in a labor market where layoffs are uncommon. Do you think
that U.S. companies should be more compassionate with employees when local
conditions in a foreign country make it very difficult for laid-off workers to
find alternative employment opportunities?

9. Do you think that wellness programs are worth their cost to a company? Explain.

than working with unionized labor?
